I was sitting at a stop light when suddenly a blue blur comes into my rearview mirror. After the smash i get out to see the damage and look at the other guy who was already out of his car, he just says "i have insurance". When he said that i started to to think something was wrong, so he gets into his car(a pinto or someting)and runs from the intersection. So as fast as i could i get in the bimmer and chase him long enough to get his licens plate number. Hopfully the cops can sort it out.
so i figer that he does not have insurance and i'm going to have to thow some money at body work.
on the bright side the car isn't completely trashed,and it seemed that his car got the worst of the damage.

Hmm, will it pass its next inspection if the rear end of the bodywork's collapsed?
I know in the UK that if your lower cross-frame that the boot closes onto is buckled, it wont pass an MOT as it's a structural part of the car.

Doesn't it become a criminal case if he claims he has whiplash?
Injuring person + Driving away is much more severe than Damaging car + Driving away?

leaving the scene of an accident is a crime, injury or not

here in New Mexico you only get an inspection when register the car for the first time. thay also don't test emissions.

actually i was pretty relived that i didn't have the SRS system hooked up. i heard that when the airbag goes it destroys you windsheild.

i belive in carma too much to ever try somthing like that. i just what his to play for the damage that he has done. Besides its allready jail time for a hit and run.
he hit anouther big truck running from me but the guy he hit had a big ass bummper so it didn't hurt him at all. the dude in the truck never pressed charges because he didn't have any damage.
After he finish wrecking his car into my bumper when and started running you could see smoke coming form the hood and tailpipe,then he hit that truck and took out the rest of his lights. i figer he didn't get too far

The SRS wouldn't deploy if you were struck at the rear...Its a good thing though you where not hurt:)

Hope the plate checks out under the driver and the car was not stolen in the first place.

Me too, but i figure that even if they even do find the guy he most likely will not have insurance. I'm getting myself ready to face the fact that i might have to go to court to gat any cash.

hhumm... i didn't know that.... i haven't had the the cash to buy the SRS light reset tool yet.

did he not put up much of a fight?
If I was in your position, and the guy was running red lights or going 90 mph on streets I would probably have had to just let him go.

Well with my insurance if youre able to identify the hit n run driver ie his number plate,they will fix your car and then chase the bastard! Good luck mate I feel your pain.

Thats funny. Even without the damage, this statement would be true ;)
It may take a while, and you may to fork out the $$ now, but I bet you get it back in time.

time to look for a used M5 bumper to replace it with, if any insurance will cut you a check.....have to capitalize somehow right? ;)
you've bumper shocks, a bumper, bumper cover, rub strips and two tone paint...just under a grand I'd guess

time to look for a used M5 bumper
hell yeah thats what i'm saying, i have wanted an M5 kit for a long time.
I took a better look at the car today and i didn't find any cracks in the bumper. i figure i'm going to have to remove the bumper sand out the scratches and pull the shocks back out. one of the things that i'm affarid of is the new paint not matching.
did he not put up much of a fight?
man it's funny that you said that. when i got out of the car and saw him first thing in my mind was to throw a right hook. Then the think to myself that i don't need to catch any cases over this looser.
after he hit my car, his little pos didn't seem to have much left in it. So getting close enought to get the numbers wasn't that hard.
today i get to go downtown and get the report hopefully they have good news.

thax guys, the funny thing about it is when i go around town people ask me when i'm going to get some rims(they think they are stock). one of them is bend due to a blow out on the highway but i don't get any vibration so i'll sport them till i have problems.
i added a few more pics of her "good side". truns out that the cops found the guy, and guess what he had some insurance. So my insurance told me that i should get some more info about it on monday. hopefully it will be good news

Didnt you read the part where he said he got the plates? I probably would have hunted the bastard down and found a new use for the 5/8'' breaker bar in my trunk.
